Another in a series about the generosity of Sterling Americans
Years ago: 9 year old Victim of Brain Tumor Wins Battle
A story about a brave child, his family
"Frank" had to die.
That was the name of the tumor that a local Sterling 10 year old child gave to it.
And printed bumper stickers "Frank must die" were distributed nationally and locally.
There are cars with the sticker still on it here in Sterling from years ago.
At the time, I asked Sterling Americans to kick in and Sterling Americans donated $5,500 to the medical costs of the operation necessary for this young child.
The board of supervisors held a public ceremony to salute the young child and former
vice chairman Bruce Tulloch knelt down and told the young child in his ear the child had the courage of a lion.
Every local paper reported the decision to fight the cancer and even some national TV shows
picked up on the cause.
Sterling neighbors and friends responded within days to help pay for this successful operation.
The quick response was historic and I have not forgotten the generosity of Sterling Americans who
donated whatever they could on short notice.
"Frank (the tumor) is dead" was the announcement and the young child made a recovery.
The operation was successful and the family expressed their appreciation.
For a recent report from the family directly go to this link
